Book Synopsis
Leading change just got a whole lot easier.

Think you need awe-inspiring visions, complicated plans, and fist-pounding speeches to inspire change? Think again.

A rising tide of real leaders ranging from banking executives and heads of multinational manufacturers to hospital administrators and small business owners have discovered a surprisingly simple way to deliver steady results in spite of unrelenting change. Brimming with compelling stories and grounded in research, Domino: The Simplest Way to Inspire Change reveals two approaches to leading change: Change by Addition and Change by Decision. Disturbingly, Change by Addition is far less effective, but is used far more often. Until now. Luckily, Change by Decision is not only more effective it also requires less time and fewer resourcesallowing ordinary managers to take their teams in exciting new directions.

  • Understand how to free yourself and your team from the shackles of change by addition.
